An unprecedented collaboration that links the forces of fashion, music and editorial, this limited edition box set comes with a copy of V Magazine's V88 Music Issue and a custom-designed 'Renaissance' bracelet from luxury jeweller David Yurman.

Retails at HK$3,100 each, is now available at all Lane Crawford store and lanecrawford.com

Zaha Hadid offers CASPITA her visionary talent by designing the ‘SKEIN’ ring; this limited edition collection is exclusively available at Lane Crawford ifc mall until 18 May 2014.

Succumbing to the charm of CASPITA, Zaha Hadid dwells for the first time upon goldsmith’s objects. This unprecedented partnership is the first of CASPITA projects of astounding collaborations between jewellery, architecture, contemporary art and design. Inspired by cellular structures found in nature, the collection harmoniously intensify the brand’s aphorism ‘See the invisible‘.

The unparalleled Swiss craftsmanship makes the creation possible, a profusion of lattice in filigree produced in black, white, yellow and pink gold set with diamonds or not. This feat of entwined geometries reveals its extraordinary sparkle thanks to the skill of the goldsmiths who expertly hand-polish these two prodigiously meshed works.

Markus Lupfer leads the street style pack with his wearable statement knitwear featuring signature motifs. This season, Lane Crawford collaborated with the British designer on a globally exclusive collection.

“I have created a neon camouflage version of the smacker lip that gives a fresh new injection to a familiar print. Enjoy!” said Lupfer. The iconic lips cover everything from sweatshirts and tees to phone cases so for the ultimate combination of cheeky personality with a sharp dose of urban edge, Lupfer has it all.

Hong Kong (March, 2014) - Lane Crawford, the iconic, luxury department store, has opened in Chengdu, bringing the first multi-brand luxury fashion and lifestyle destination to one of China’s fastest growing luxury markets.

Located in the new Chengdu International Finance Square, the Lane Crawford store totals 82,000 square feet, the same size as its Hong Kong flagship at ifc mall. The store is set over two floors, with more than 300 international brands across womenswear, ladies’ shoes and accessories, beauty, menswear, men’s shoes and accessories, and home & lifestyle.

The store represents an RMB 300 million investment and follows the opening of Lane Crawford’s China flagship in Shanghai in October 2013. Lane Crawford’s portfolio in mainland China also includes two stores in Beijing and a global online store, fully optimised for the China market with Chinese language editorial, customer service and payment capabilities.

“Lane Crawford is invested in creating the future of global retail, in the market of the future. We are building beautiful stores strategically positioned in major regional hubs in Greater China. Our stores are seamlessly connected to our digital flagship through product and service, and this enables us to cover all of China, extending reach into new markets for our customers and importantly, also for our brand partners,” Andrew Keith, President, Lane Crawford said.

“We’ve seen first-hand the appetite for designer fashion and lifestyle through the increasing numbers of Chengdu residents coming to Lane Crawford in Hong Kong and our online store – not simply to buy but also to learn and experience the world of style. That same passion and eagerness to engage and learn was also very striking in the 200 staff we’ve recruited. So we’re very excited about creating a dynamic shopping destination here,” Mr Keith said.

Lane Crawford is unique in Greater China for its “buyers model” executed at the scale of a department store, while other multi-brand retailers operate concession models, essentially renting space to brands. Mr Keith said the unique collection of merchandise for Lane Crawford Chengdu IFS was selected by a buying team of 85 experts who have close relationships with brand partners and designers globally, with 40% of brands exclusive to the market.

On level 3, the beauty destination offers more than 40 brands including Burberry, Clarins, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani Beauty, Lancome, La Mer, La Prairie, Sisley and SK-II, as well as brining new and exclusive fragrance and gadget brands such as Acqua di Parma, Atelier Cologne, Bioeffect, Comfort Zone, Diptyque, GHD, Tangle Teezer, Thann and Violent Lips. Dedicated to an innovative and inspiring beauty shopping experience, the department features Beauty Service Reception and The Edit areas to cater to all beauty needs, Franck Provost Paris hair salon and Merci Beauty Lounge, plus a series of private cabines with specialised beauty services and treatments for customers to relax and indulge in.

The Ladies Shoes and Accessories department, called The Shoe Gallery is segmented into four zones which have been designed to capture the diversity and range of the department’s selection while offering an unrivalled customer experience. From designer brands like Alaia, Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Charlotte Olympia, Gianvito Rossi, Giuseppe Zanotti Design, Givenchy, Jimmy Choo, Lanvin, Nicholas Kirkwood, Proenza Schouler, René Caovilla, Stella McCartney and Valentino; contemporary brands such as Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Kenzo, McQ, Toga Pulla and Tory Burch. While Weekend/Cool Kids area is dedicated to the casual chic leather goods as well as kids’ shoes, such as ASH, Adidas X Jeremy Scott, Cambridge Satchel, Onitsuka Tiger, TOMS and UGG Australia and Market Place features a unique array of fashion accessories from brands such as Alexander McQueen, Erickson Beamon, Maison Michel, Valentino, as well as eyewear brand from Linda Farrow Luxe, Rayban and Victoria Beckham.

The store design is cool and modern, with an open and flexible floor plan featuring two enormous LED screens for digital content and pop areas for collaborations and exhibition. The space is punctuated by a dramatic void which features a three metre high sculpture entitled The Scribble by international artist Hirotoshi Sawada who has also created The Lattice, a series of architectural screens in the menswear area. The majority of materials including limestone, grey and white marble, oak and walnut flooring, have been sourced locally.

The store offers a host of exclusive personalised services including a Concierge team and a luxurious 5,700 square foot suite for personal styling and private events. Exclusive beauty services include Beauty Service Reception, six beauty treatment suites, a hair salon and nail bar, with almost 2,000 square feet dedicated to a calendar of activities including complimentary skin and makeup consultations, beauty tips and trends workshops, product samples and new services.

As part of Lane Crawford’s connected commerce strategy, the Chengdu store and Lane Crawford’s online store are completely connected to provide a seamless shopping experience. Customers in Chengdu can enjoy same day delivery of online orders, or collect or return their online order at the Online Shopping Concierge, a 1,000 square foot space featuring fitting rooms and mobile devices.

More than 3,000 square feet is designated for creative displays and specifically, a space called The Hub aims to showcase and support emerging creative talent in fashion, art and design, by showcasing their work in the heart of the store.
